Canoeing and Clean-Up
Saturday, September 20, 2025
1:00 p.m.–2:30 p.m.
Few experiences compare with being on the open water in New York City. The rhythm of the waves, the sun on your face, and the exhilaration of slicing through the water all add up to an experience you’ll never forget. Join the Urban Park Rangers for National Clean-Up Day, help clean up your local park and celebrate after with some canoeing.
Note: This program is an advanced canoe excursion due to stronger currents and other factors. Participants must be experienced paddlers. Ages 8 and up.
